Nepal Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association disagrees with extension for registration of sanitizer. On July 6, the Ministry of Health gave three more months for the registration of sanitizers. The association demanded an immediate reversal of the decision and met the health minister in the same regard.

The union has warned to agitate more if the demand is not addressed by Wednesday.
